MICROWAVE CONTAINERS
When melting chocolate in the microwave the containers do get very hot so, use caution when removing the melted chocolate from the microwave oven.
If you have a microwave oven safe jug with a handle, use that when melting the white chocolate and you can use a microwave safe mug for the dark chocolate.
Using a container with a handle is convenient for pouring the mixture into the prepared pan.
If you don’t have suitable containers with handles for the microwave oven, use a folded tea towel when removing the heated chocolate from the microwave.
